History
The house that is now the Himalayan Hotel Kalimpong, was the family home of David Macdonald. Macdonald was posted to Tibet as a British Trade Agent, serving in Yatung and Gyantse until his retirement in 1924. Macdonald assisted the 13th Dalai Lama's escape from Tibet in 1910, and he was later invited to Lhasa in 1921. Prior to his retirement he served briefly as Britain's Political Officer in Sikkim, in charge of Britain's relations with Tibet, Bhutan and Sikkim. After his retirement, Macdonald shifted to this house and rented part of it as a hotel. The Himalayan Hotel still remains the residence of the Macdonald family.
